The Diamond and Silk Twitter and Truth Social accounts confirmed Lynnette Hardaway's death. The cause was not announced. Silk's announcement, of course, comes with a request for donations. That sums up the sister act pretty well and the end of her spurious life. It was a grift, just like the President she supported.

"Really bad news for Republicans and frankly, ALL Americans," Trump wrote. "Our beautiful Diamond, of Diamond and Silk, has just passed away at her home in the State she loved so much, North Carolina. Silk was with her all the way, and at her passing. There was no better TEAM anywhere, or at any time! Diamond's death was totally unexpected, probably her big and precious HEART just plain gave out. Rest In Peace our Magnificent Diamond, you will be greatly missed!"

Silk wrote of her sister's death on Truth Social:

The World just lost a True Angel and Warrior Patriot for Freedom, Love, and Humanity! Diamond blazed a trail, founded on her passion and love for the entire race of humanity. In this time of grief, please respect the privacy of Diamond's family but remember and celebrate the gift that she gave us all! Memorial Ceremony to be announced soon.

So far, Rochelle Richardson (Silk) has raised $ 41,281 in donations. Who does this? This isn't a request for assistance with funeral expenses. They are as phony as their names. Rochelle is not honoring her sister's life by marking the end of it with a request for donations.

She died at 51 years old. I feel bad that she died so young. Maybe she could have done something for the less fortunate or used her voice to help others instead of flailing her arms with cartoonish hand gestures to feign support for a movement that secretly detests her. You probably think I'm being cruel. I'm not going to pretend that she was a great woman because she died. And remember that Fox News fired Diamond and Silk in 2020 for promoting disinformation about Covid. That's a fact. It's unfortunate that there are no takesie backsies after we die.

Rest in peace, Lynnette.
